Congradulations to Todd and fillipo! And to everyone else in te completion. You all did fantastic work. And really everyone got a fantastic prize just for participating, a spectacular one of a kind instrument. I would take any one of those fine instruments over a chisel any day, even though it is a super sweet chisel.

Congratulations to the boys from Maryland and a big thank you to our sponsor. You can’t really say enough about how cool the prize is! This was a great time for so many reasons. Thanks to all who organized, participated and watched along the way!

Congrats Todd and Filippo! Great win in a great challenge! Kudos to all of the other builders who made so many beautiful instruments . Thanks as well to Philip for making such a wonderful piece of art disguised as a chisel!

Congratulations Todd and Fillipo, beautiful instruments there and the competition was a lot of fun. Good God the drama was well worth it

Thanks for every one who voted, and not just for my entry though I do appreciate it. I didn't know what to expect with this whole thing and I really am humbled by the experience. I also plan to build some more of these barn oak guitars. The one I built is a keeper. It will have a lot of sentimental value as my wife and I have built furniture from this old barn and this is the last year we will be living in this place after 13 years.

Anyway I was really impressed by all the instruments and I can see how hard it was to vote. I'm still not sure which one is my favorite. I love the octave mando's and will think about building one of those some day. Bryan's entry has inspired me to build a mandolin as my next project. Marcus's build from a tree in his back yard was quite impressive and Dennisk's build may actually inspire me to try even the simplest inlay, something I gave up because of the difficulty a long time ago. I was leaning mostly toward jaybirds build being that he also based his on a C Bruno design like mine and his sounded really great I thought.

And the list goes on, they are all beautiful instruments and we as the builders are all lucky to have them for the rest of our lives, or make a few bucks selling them whatever works.
